The Spades 17+

It seems the East and West players consistently get better cards. Usually several high spades. Especially the East player. Doesn’t matter who you put there. Move that player to
North and they go set. (South) seldom gets those cards. My partner bids Nil with high face cards causing us to lose. I lose at Nil with a 5. It seems North and South are programmed to
lose. I win on other spade games. I like the basic set up. Just want a fair chance.

No one would pair with these AI players in real life. All my partners purposely take tricks after we have our bids, costing us 100 pts a lot. But pair those same players against me, they play better. I go Nil, my partner throws a queen of spades first when the ace is also in their hand. No real player would do that. At least not one that wanted to have partners in the future. 99% of the time I’m offered a Blind Nil, the ace of spades is in my hand. Those odds would never happen in a real life. I see this foolery happening because I utilize the Undo key A LOT. Whole games. To play them differently, see what happens. Learn.
I realize I can choose partners with different skill levels and playing styles, but a two star partner plays exactly the same as a four or five star most of the hands. There is no real difference in them. And while one AI partner can be great for a couple games, suddenly they become bad players for no good reason. Can’t get their bids, etc. They are not consistent in their skill level or playing style. For the most part, I enjoy this app. But it’s frustrating when my partner is _clearly_ sabotaging us. Isn’t this game supposed to be fun?

Pretty good game. Only issues I’ve seen are that when your about to win a hand your partner will steal it from you even if they have lower cards. For instance, if I’m winning a hand with hearts and they are the last to go, they will use their ONLY spades to steal it from me. This has happened multiple times, even when playing with 5 star bots. The 5 star people sometimes feel like 3 star tbh. Also, when we are under 40 points from winning a game, they will bid nil. I think they should be programmed to bid less risky when they are close to winning. I do really like how you can randomize who your partners are and how the games difficulty changes based on who you play with/against. I also like how you can see your stats.
